Appendix A

Troubleshooting

You should not encounter any difficulties as you set up and use

your computer, but if anything out of the ordinary happens,

refer to this appendix. You can correct most problems by

adjusting a cable connection, repeating a software procedure, or

resetting the computer.

Besides trying the suggestions in this chapter, you can run

diagnostics checks on the various components of your computer
system. See Appendix C for instructions.

If the suggestions in this appendix or Appendix C do not solve

the problem, contact your authorized Epson dealer. Your dealer

may be able to solve the problem; if not, he or she can refer
you to an Authorized Epson Customer Care Center for service.

If necessary, call the Epson Customer Information number

(1-800-922-891 1) for the location of your nearest Authorized

Epson Customer Care Center.

When you contact your dealer or Customer Care Center, be

ready to provide the serial number of your computer, its

configuration (including the type of disk drives, monitor, and

option cards), and the names and version numbers of any

software you are using.

Error Messages

If the screen displays an error message when you turn on the

computer, see Appendix B, “Power-on Diagnostics.” If the

screen displays an error message while you are running system

diagnostics, described in Appendix C, check the error message

table at the end of that appendix for the cause. Then give this

information to your Epson dealer.
